Faithful in Much
Whoever is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and whoever is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much.
Luke 16:10
Our gospel text for Sunday features a parable of Jesus that some consider the most difficult passage to interpret (fun!).
In the parable Jesus seems to commend a dishonest manager and taking advantage of others economically.
And his master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly,
for the children of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than are the children of light.
And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of dishonest wealth so that when it is gone they may welcome you into the eternal homes.
Luke 16:8–9
This seems to go against Jesus’ basic teachings like “blessed are the poor”
and “it is easier for a camel to enter the eye of needle than a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God.”
Well, join us Sunday and we will try to sort all this out and find a few insights for your week.
See you Sunday!
